Sorry, in crunch mode at work so I've not had a lot of spare time.
This is a general problem with the Windows file dialog -- it tries to display some preview information for video files. This can activate various video decoders installed in your system, so if one of them barfs on a file, the file dialog blows up. You can confirm if this is the case by using Notepad, changing the File Type selector to All Files and then seeing if you get the same behavior when you hover over one of the problematic files.
There unfortunately aren't really good mitigations for this. If you have Windows Explorer set to show thumbnails in preview view, then switching the video mode to Detail View can help. It used to be the case that you could unregister the shell media extension (shmedia.dll) to block the preview path from triggering, but Microsoft shuffled the DLLs around in Windows 7 so that this isn't possible anymore.
